Oh no issue at all, just didn't want it to scare people away from the case. Super glad my pics helped, that was my main goal all along. Back before anyone had the case, I was so desperate for some size comparison I actually built a little cardboard box model of the case to better visualize...

LMAO, it's the poor front case panel that I had to bend ever so slightly.

Finally, think I changed enough to show I made mistakes ... FULL ALBUM And the most recent pictures, showing a lot of what I mentioned in my previous few comments: Custom Cables, Bent Riser, and 3.5 HDD forced into front.

That was me. I never said anything about the build quality, just that some screws stripped super easy. I also had no clue what I was doing because there is no manual yet. I was trying to get pictures and explanations out literally as fast as I could to help others get a better idea what this...

Squished mine down, doesn't affect anything ... other than hide the few miserable LED my phantom had.

I'm the original guy, a few pages back, who eff'ed up one of the screws, and it was actually one of those two, lol.

Had to add a rubber washer to my fan screws as one of my fans was grinding against the bottom grill

I didn't think so at first, but I would say they are 100% necessary.

I had a cheaper ADATA one, and that sucker got HOT!! I then later ripped a Samsung one out of a laptop, and it was cool as a cucumber. In both cases I had the same data on both, and no heatsink. So completely depends on brand and usage I'd say.

That's just the ball stud found on the side panels, that push into holes to hold the panel onto the case (locked into place in this picture). They are way lower than the radiator and doubt they would interfere with anything (pic).

Just posting to add photos for anyone interested: First build album (most photos) Front panel Standoffs and radiator clearance Current State of my build, 100% need those custom cables.

Took those out and ... nothing. They literally don't seem to "hold" anything together. Maybe they are left over from a previous design build ?? I totally expected those four to be the key to separating the top and bottom part of the top panel, but they released nothing. If I'm wrong, I would...

Check my messages, I linked to an album of my SM580 build. there is plenty of room to spare for the back M.2 drive, AND to put low profile aluminium heatsinks on it.

But then the screws fall out of the rails. I was only able to hold them there through gravity and their own weight, until I could place the radiator whole beneath it, and the screw driver above it. felt like mission impossible x8 screws.

Thank god, thought it was just me ... but that is a bit of an oversight in terms of case build, right ?
